Storyline 360 and Comprehensive 508 course review

Question

Hello,
Our courses have to go through a comprehensive course review and since this is our first time submitting a course in the Storyline format, I have encountered a few questions.&nbsp; Please see below.&nbsp; I'm attaching a Word document that has screenshot examples related to some of the questions.
Will image overlap be an accessibility issue?&nbsp; For example if one image is layered on another.&nbsp; Example in Word document.
If items in general overlap, will this be an accessibility issue? Example&nbsp;in Word document.
When applying focus order, should alt-text be included for all items that should be read?&nbsp; Example in Word document.
If alt-text is included in focus order is it also necessary to include text to speech?&nbsp; Seems redundant.
Kind Regards,Hannah

Hello Hannah!
I'm happy to help!&nbsp;
Will image overlap be an accessibility issue?

I do not see a criterion in WCAG 2.0 that covers images that overlap. If they're decorative images and aren't needed to convey information, I would guess overlapping wouldn't be an issue.&nbsp;

If items in general overlap, will this be an accessibility issue?

Here is information on what is technically a failure when overlapping text on an image. The best practice would be not to overlap text with text, but you could overlap text with an image if the contrast ratio is sufficient.

When applying focus order, should alt-text be included for all items that should be read?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Great question! This&nbsp;WebAim article covers what needs alt next and what doesn't.

If alt-text is included in focus order is it also necessary to include text to speech?&nbsp;

If a learner uses a screen reader, they won't need the text to speech since a screen reader will read the same content. If you do include text-to-speech, you'll want to make sure to include a text-based transcript.

Thank you so much Lauren. I just saw this reply. I thought I would get a notification when someone replied but didn't get one. Our courses just went up for 508 review and overall the results were not that bad - a few minor accessibility issues. There were&nbsp;some though that I am not sure how to fix. We will not be able to go live with the courses until these are resolved.
Note: We export a SCORM package and load it into our LMS.
Storyline 360 course:
1) The page title is not set&nbsp;
2) The iframe for the actual course content does not have a title&nbsp;
Rise 360 course:&nbsp;
1) The page does not have its title attribute set. Also the iframe that contains the course content does not have a name
Any help is appreciated.
